Hey everyone,
I have been looking all over for the files needed to make my TF700 brick proof. I basically need the ebtblob.bin file for my device so I can flash it via fastboot. The main site that says to get it from their download section does not appear to actually have it (http://androidroot.mobi/download/). Does anyone have the files they can send me? Just to be clear I am not asking for anyone elses device specific backups, rather the file I need to flash via fastboot to create them in the first place.
Thanks!

Hey all,
Just curious as to where a file needs to be if I want to push or flash to my Xoom via adb. Meaning if I have a recovery.img and want to flash it to my phone, where do I need to put the file before i flash? I'm guessing I'd put it in the tools folder of my sdk directory, but not positive. ADB is installed to C:\android-sdk-windows\tools, so if I drop the img into tools, it will flash correct. I've done it before but put the file in a few different spots just to make sure
Yes the files need to be in the same location as fastboot.exe and adb.exe, so in your case that is C:\android-sdk-windows\tools.
Ok cool, thanks. I kinda figured, but didn't really have anything to test it out on. Thanks again.
Or you write adb push and drag the file into your cmd window.
and pls remember: you posted in "development" this is NOT Q&A!!
Thread moved to Q&A since this is a [Q]uestion.
Thanks for moving, and my appologies. I considered my question to be development related as is was about adb, flashing custom recovery images, etc. I wasn't aware that you couldn't ask development questions in the dev section. Or at least start question threads like I did. I was gonna post in the xoom cwm recovery thread, but I figured my question was a bit broad for it. I figured development questions could go in the dev section. In any case, I got ya now. Thanks again. And thanks for answering.
Hi,
I'm very unsure where to put this thread as my device has no forum of its own. I have a ViewSonic ViewPad 7 tablet, but I guess this is not even a device specific question, which is why I ended up posting it here.
I have an image of the stock ROM on my tablet (system.img + boot.img), but I'm unable to extract or flash the system.img directly, which is why I need your help. I've been reading some topics regarding this and tried out different methods, but either I am doing something wrong or the image is not complete. It was created using the cat command in the shell.
If any of you should be able to extract the system.img from this zip file I would be forever grateful, as I really need to get my stock ROM back so that I'm able to have Danish locale as well as text messages.
Thank you very much in advance!

Dear Fellas,
After reading a bit through the pages of this Q&A forum I realized that there is no thread describing a proper method to flash a stock firmware into our "stock" tablets, I mean, without any customization or root.
Anyone please, could share his knowledge and enrich us into this subject? Yes, anyone knows how to proceed to flash a stock firmware through microSD?
Just to make things clear as possible, my wondering extends to which files add into microSD, the correct format, the correct structure to flash.
Really appreciate ideas and directions.
Cheers
Erick
Get the firmware you want from the asus webpage, extract it, find in the extracted path another zip archive and rename it to EP101_SDUPDATE Make sure you leave it a zip dont change the extension AND make sure it is on the root of the card... boot by pressing the VOL DOWN + POWER button... as soon as you see some text press within 5 sec the UP button....and wait
Hello, I'm very new to this forum so plz forgive me if I post this in the wrong place.
I recently bought a asus tf300 and flash the cmw recovery img. Since I'm unlock the bootloader, I no longer get update from ASUS website. My question is how am I manually update the blob file that I download from ASUS support website.
I have look alot threads about this issue, and I find out there are mainly three methods that can update the blob.
1. Using Asus Manual upload:
According to Asus website, they said just put the zip file in the micro sd card and the system will pop up an notification that will help u upload.
2. Using CMW to upload:
upload the blob with CMW recovery. There are some thread that tells me it will brick the device. But some people said it is ok to use CMW to upload the blob, therefore I'm a little bit confused about this method.
3. Wolf's way:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1622628
The following is my questions:
1. what is the difference between these three method?
2. if the CMW is okay can someone tells me the right way to upload the blob. Such as using the original build.prop something like that?
3. is it ok to use the wolf's way to update the blob?
Sorry for so many questions and my poor English.
I'd use the ADB / Terminal emulator method (Wolf's way mostly)
Place on transformer, then flash the 'blob' file through the staging partition.
You'll need to reinstall CWM and reroot everytime you do this, unless you manually extract the SOS partition out of the blob file ASUS gives you with blobtools then repack it.
hey there, have some questions regarding Step 2 Recovery from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583427
for some reason, it won't let me post as i have less than 10 posts.
so, going straight to the questions:
1) i downloaded SDK, now, do i have to install it? i actually installed it without knowing if i should or shouldn't and have no idea what to do with it.
2) was i supposed to extract the the Official CWM of koush? downloaded this one rather than Paul's interim but i didn't know what to do with it, so i just extracted into C:\fastboot
3) when he says "Place the CWM File where the fastboot.exe is (Downloaded with the SDK)" does he mean place the extracted bits with the installed SDK program into C:\fastboot? or does he mean leave the installer as is with the zip file as is in c:\fastboot? or a different combination altogether?
4) what is the name of the recovery in "fastboot flash recovery name_of_the_recovery.img"? i looked around and they said do recovery recovery, but that didn't work for me (couldn't find file error).
5) i have s4, is it wiser to go with the interim or official?
please feel free to ask if any of these questions are a bit confusing; tried my best to ask what i'm confused about. thanks for reading, and i'll greatly appreciate any help!
